Some custom stickers for my mini arcade machine. What do you think?

"The shadows are as important as the light."

— Charlotte Brontë (Jane Eyre)

Sid Smith (born Brooklyn, New York, 1968) is an American artist.

“My intent in creating is to have poetic expression through the physicality of painting and my sculpture. I am very much into the process of building a painting, and lose myself in the creation of my paintings. If pressed for an explanation of why I did a certain piece a certain way I would have to say I was compelled to make it that way. Colour is an integral part of my work and I consider

carefully my combinations and placement, finding inspiration in memories of things I have seen, and mood. Each piece begins as blocks and marks of colour with no concrete direction other than letting my brush and knife and colour find the canvas as they evolve along the way. I may add words, numbers, geometries and paint over them, rework them again, sand and carve through

layers to excavate them to the surface again. I try to bring my memories, emotions and desires into a physical state on the canvas and hope that some of this is conveyed through my craft to the viewer. Bringing to my work those things that we carry with us and memories of what we have left behind. Ultimately my work comes into being for my love of creating and released so that

I may keep evolving and honing my way of creating these pictures.”

W.A. Young Machine Shop and Foundry

Rices Landing, PA

This shop was built in 1900. It was closed in 1969 and left the way it was on its last day of operation with machinery and tools dating as far back as 1870.

The shop is beside the Monongahela River in southwestern Pennsylvania. It specialized in repairing barges, tug boats, and other river vessels and making replacement parts.

Even the tiny metal shavings or filings remain on the tools.

I'm not sure what this is (perhaps part of a lathe?) so I called it "Mystery Machine." If anyone knows what it is, please leave a comment.

Well, why not shoot objects from time to time--it is fun, to try to make them look good!

These photos were shot at our University (www.h-ab.de) at the lab of Prof. Volpe, for a publication about PCB prototyping.

STROBIST

Two speedlites, manually adjusted, one on the left side shooting through a diffusor, on on the right side, with a blue gel, shooting against a silver reflector (actually: it was the cover of the diffusor, taped to the wall). The speedlites were triggered via YN-602 RF transmitters. Still my favorite work horses. :-)

PHOTOSHOP

Not that much, the usual cloning and stuff.

For the right one I stacked two shots to get the drill and also the logo sharp.

Why not close the aperture for that purpose?

Because that would need too much flash power and furthermore the lens would be not that sharp anymore (not on the "critical aperture" setting).

Why not zoom out?

Yes, that would give me the DOF I wanted, but the perspective would change (cropping would have been ok, there's plenty of resolution left). I tried that and I did not like the wide-angle perspective.

So I just did two shots with varied focus and aligned these in Photoshop (btw.: Photoshop did a good job regarding the aligment and a bad job regarding the merging, so I did the merging my hand).

We'd love to hear from you if you use our photos/documents.

Many other photos in our collection are available to view and browse on our website.

In a little while I will be posting short series taken in an underground mine. This is a redundant machine that, while no longer used, retains some character.

The glass ball holding the "bubble gum balls" is approximately 3/4 inch in width and height. The hand is that of a Dawn doll, much smaller than a Barbie if you are unfamiliar with her.

The four photos show different distance ratios of my macro lens.

First sketches and models for the Time Machine, a new interactive art project created by Pataphysical Studios.

In this brainstorm session, each team member sketched out their own ideas, then discussed them with the group, to design our upcoming time travel experience together.

Next, we plan to create a composite design with some of these ideas, to integrate them into a single blueprint.

To be continued ...

Lego moulding machine - recreation of the first molding machine bought by Lego back in 1949. This machine was the spearhead of the platic era within the company.

The model itself was built with 50 bricks, with the addition to 8 used by minifigs, the magnifying glass and the old Modulex brick give a round number of 60 - for the Lego Brick's 60th anniversary!
